Knowledge-Centered Support (KCS)

Presenter

Judy Benda, Executive Director, HDI Training

Summary

KCS is a methodology specifically designed for support centers, it represents a subset of the knowledge management practices that a company might deploy. The KCS processes focuses on knowledge as a key asset of the organization.

The idea behind KCS strategy is that of eliminating the proverbial re-invention of the wheel, i.e. to solve a problem once and use that solution as often as necessary. Adopting KCS has many benefits, including: improving the efficiency of support center, increasing customer satisfaction, and motivating support staff. Many support and service organizations spend thousands of dollars each year on technology and upgrades, with minimal return on the investment. This presentation will summarize KCS, its benefits, and how adopting a KCS strategy and shifting from the call-centric model to the knowledge-centric model can dramatically improve your support organization’s results.
